Hardywood deal marks big win for office park

Monday’s announcement that Hardywood Park Craft Brewery will build a new facility in Goochland County was not only welcome news for the local craft beer market, but also for West Creek Business Park.

The 3,500-acre park has notched new developments at its northern connection with West Broad Street, but its original section near Patterson Avenue has seen less movement in recent years.

That southernmost end is where Hardywood plans to build its facility, which will consist of a 60,000-square-foot brewery, a packaging and distribution facility, a taproom and beer garden, agricultural fields, a food truck plaza, an amphitheater, bocce courts and walking and biking paths.
